you can remove that screen shot if you want. as it has little to do with what your asking.
as long as your pci-e slot is 1.1 or better and you have the required psu power you can run a 7770.
as its a core 2 duo you will likely have a pci-e 2.0 slot so you shouldnt have any hardware compatibility issues.
it would be wise if you do a repair install after you plug the new card in to avoid software compatibility problems, and dont forget to load optimized defaults in bios after you fit the new card

The 9400GT requires less power than the 7770 (recommended is 300W vs 400W, so in reality 250W vs 350W), so being able to run it doesn't mean he can run the 7770. Also, the 7770 requires a PCI-E power cable, which most 350W cheap PSUs don't have.

I'd recommend at least a 450W psu.
I quickly looked and this seemed to be a decent PSU for the price:

If you want a higher quality PSU you have to pay more.

Having a quality PSU is still important even with all the cables and wattage. A generic 300W PSU that comes with a prebuilt computer isn't reliable and is dangerous to run decent components in. That's why i'm waiting for the PSU model to give advice.
